Both tournaments are games of chance
True, but only to a certain extent. blackjack's house edge is a lot lower, and you get to make decisions as opposed to slots where you ONLY hit buttons and "pray".
A lot of people make money consistently playing blackjack.

Good luck with that.
I think you're opting for fun. Nothing wrong with it.

I'd like to gamble. I'd stick with the slot machines.
It all depends. Whether you want to gamble with the potential of making some profit or just have fun.

I played Blackjack when I was a kid, but I don’t have any experience with it now, so I’d choose a slots tournament, since he’d be paying the entry fee. But ONLY because he’d be paying for it. I see it as a kind of lottery ticket. Good luck to you, Sami!

Nothing wrong with that choice Diva. It's free and could bring some profit, at least guaranteed some fun, except that playing blackjack has more potential of making a profit, fun included.

Hey Diva, I don't know if you've seen this free course or not, but I found it very instructive and enjoyable too:

Blackjack because slots is far too boring. Also slots you play alone and I would rather have some social interaction while playing.

That's a great point no one brought up. In Blackjack, a lot of fun comes from its social aspect too.
Let alone that people are allowed to help each other with the game.

Why not play them all? haha
Did our friend set any restrictions?

But anyway, for me the order would always be this:

Poker > Blackjack > maybe roulette > slot games and spins, with video poker as my first choice.

There are only 2 tournaments starting. Balckjack and slots. Choose one.
Let's say that there's not enough money for both of you to register in the poer tourney.

Totally true, but their edge in blackjack is significantly lower.

I would choose slots. If you're going to have fun with your friend's money, you should do it as efficiently as possible :)

That's another way to look at it, especially if the goal is to have fun.

But what I was wondering about is your time at CC, were you on the CC leaderboards?
Sami has a 1st and a 3rd LB awards, I'd get the admins to check on that seeing as Sami said he wasn't on LB's, those two awards may have been yours and accidentally added to Sami's account. :unsure:

:p

You find yourself at a casino with a friend who's registered in a poker tourney starting soon, but you're not.
There re 2 casino games tourneys also starting soon.
Instead of just hanging around while he's playing, he proposed that you play one of them and he'd pay for your entry.

Which one would you choose? A slots tournament or a Blackjack one? Why?
I would go for Blackjack. Because atleast in Blackjack games you have the option to hit or stand, which depending on your skills too instead of just pure luck or gamble. Yeah counting cards is also possible so yeah as long as you are not at the losing odds, better I guess.

Neither. I go cheer, support and rail my buddy. With the money saved we can either go celebrate his win/good finish or we go get drunk and help him forget about losing :ROFLMAO:.

Cheers!!!

I agree 100%, in blackjack, even with no skills, the odds of making some profits are still better. The other players and even the dealer can help you sometimes.

Another way of looking at it. And why not, as long as you think you wouldn't get bored.

I love stories, even long ones when they're good.
So, let us hear at least the slots one.

No big deal, you play the same as if you were playing for yourself except that you have to outlast other people.
